The town shew'd forth on the occasion, A general, grand illumination ; The townsmen with each other vied.
With ardent, honourable pride, To shew their love of him, whose glory Had been the theme of daily story.
The lovely fair, whose smile beguiles The hero's dangers and his toils, "With fond endearments round him press'd, And made the sailor more than blest. An entertainment too was made. Where the town's wealth was all array'd, And luxuries in lavish waste, Invited the fastidious taste. The g...overnor and all his suite, Were present at this splendid treat. The military of the fort. And seamen who were in the port, 84 THE ADVENTURES OF Throng'd there with double wish possest, To share the glory and the feast.
At night to please the groupes of fair. A ball was giv'n, and beauty there, Rich in the ornaments of art, Made mutiny in many a heart. Bowsprit, the idol of the scene, With proper courtesy of mien, Receiv'd the compliments of all ; Unharm'd by flattery's wanton squall, And shook his foot in merry reel, To please a maiden of Castile, Whose dark blue eyes, and roguish glance, Had made his heart within him dance.
